Hi Blitz,
I've tried your Tuned 'Vette setup. Perhaps it's just not fitting my driving style, but I found it had a LOT of understeer, especially in fast corners (noticed it especially in the first corner (when you brake for the second apex), the second spoon, and the 130R.
I do usually like a little understeer but I felt there is really a lot here. So I tried to increase front and rear wings, and add a few kilos to stay under the PP limit. Right away I felt I had much better control of the car, better reactivity in the corners, but then I felt that the engine wasn't quite pulling it hard enough for race conditions.
So I added yet a bit more weight and increased the horsepower. The extra hp actually helped somewhat cure the understeer as well, because the rear feels more reactive when I put my foot down on the exit... (this is especially noticeable in turn 1). Then I very slightly modified the gearbox ratio to account for the top speed loss (it's minor, probably about 5mph max.. made the final gear at 3.5), and almost gained a few 1/10 of a second and especially a lot more comfort.
Best time with your tune: 1'58.9
Best time with more weight, power, and full aero (and updated gearbox): 1'58.4
I didn't touch the chassis settings, which I think are good. But now it's more stable under braking, more reactive in the esses, and I feel it's more inviting to attack now.
In terms of lap time, for me all the time is won in sector 1, in the next two both setups were almost identical. You wanna try and let me know if you agree or if it's just more suitable to my driving style?
Anyway, great work on all your tunes! I don't post much but I do enjoy them a lot. 👍 Keep it up!
